Application of PEEK Composites in Sliding Bearings


Superior Performance of PEEK Bearing Material


PEEK bearing material, as a high-performance plastic, is widely used in the field of sliding bearings due to its excellent wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, chemical stability, and dimensional stability. Compared with traditional metal materials, PEEK bearing material has better self-lubricating properties, which can reduce friction and extend service life. In extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and high pressure, PEEK bearing material performs excellently, meeting the modern industry's high requirements for bearing materials.


Self-Lubricating Characteristics of PEEK Bearing Material


One of the outstanding advantages of PEEK bearing material in sliding bearings is its excellent self-lubricating properties. Compared to traditional lubricating oil bearings, PEEK bearing material can operate normally without external lubrication, making it especially suitable for occasions where lubrication oil is hard to obtain or lubrication contamination needs to be avoided. Its self-lubricating characteristics can effectively reduce friction and wear rates, lower starting friction resistance, and extend the equipment's service life.


Application of PEEK Composites in Sliding Bearings


To further enhance the overall performance of PEEK bearing materials, PEEK composites have been developed. By incorporating various reinforcing materials, the friction coefficient, wear resistance, and strength of PEEK composites have been significantly improved. For instance, PEEK composites are widely used in the sliding bearings of equipment such as water pumps and compressors, demonstrating excellent wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. Under harsh conditions such as high load and heavy-duty, the performance of PEEK composites is even more outstanding.


Wide Range of Applications for PEEK Bearing Material


PEEK bearing material has irreplaceable applications in various industrial equipment. For example, in high-performance equipment such as magnetic pumps, wind turbine gearboxes, and internal combustion engine crankshafts, PEEK bearing material can effectively withstand high pressure, high temperatures, and provide stable performance. Additionally, PEEK bearing material has been widely recognized in fields such as marine equipment and ship propulsion shafts, becoming the preferred material for many high-end devices.

 

With its superior performance and broad application prospects, PEEK bearing material has become an important material in the modern field of sliding bearings. With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, PEEK bearing material will be applied in more industries and demonstrate a broader market scope.
